Description
1424 Castle Ave is one of the most unique properties on one of the best blocks in Philadelphia. This property wraps around the entire corner of the street! Enter from 15th Street through a gated garden, then through double glass doors to an exterior foyer where you can access a wrap-around porch. The first floor has high ceilings and gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. Imagine what this property could be! The windows could become double French doors to your private porch. The grand staircase to the second floor opens up to a small landing, allowing light to flow to the next floor. You can still see the original detail on the ceiling medallions, wooden railing, and hearth of the first-floor fireplace. The expansive first floor offers plenty of space to expand the kitchen into the dining room. The kitchen is located at the back of the home and, while updated with wooden cabinets and granite countertops not that long ago, it leaves room for imagination and expansion. At the back of the kitchen, you have direct access to a very large garage with high ceilings that nearly reach the home's second story. From the dining room, you can see the original back host stairs that lead to the bedrooms from the first-floor dining area. Before heading up the Grand front stairs to the second level, there's a small half-bathroom hidden just under the stairs. The second floor opens to two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and an open seating area looking down to the stairwell, with original shelving detail and painted ceiling medallions. The first full bathroom has original classic pink and black square tiles but has so much space and ceiling height with a bump-out of three windows it lets light pour in. The back bedroom on the second floor opens into a finished off-roof space where someone could build a gorgeous new deck that even connects next door. The front bedroom has windows on two sides and faces north to the city skyline. The third floor features two more spacious bedrooms. The bedroom at the front has an ensuite bathroom and exposed brick wall. The bathroom has black granite tiles with a shower, sink, and tub. The fourth bedroom is adequately sized and has an additional space off the back for what could be a sitting area or walk-in closet. The original service staircase could be opened up to the back as it is located just under the closet. With the RSA3 zoning and incredible location, the possibilities with these homes are endless. Positioned just off 15th Street, this residence enjoys proximity to the Tasker-Morris subway station and easy access to the 2 and 17 bus routes, earning a commendable Transit Score of 77. The high Walk Score of 90 speaks to the convenience of this location, placing you within strolling distance of an array of East and West Passyunk hotspots. Indulge in all the area's hotspots, from Ultimo Coffee to savoring the culinary delights of La Llorona Cantina, or unwind at Second District Brewing. Immerse yourself in the vibrant local scene, with cherished establishments like South Philly Taproom, Barcelona Wine Bar, Passyunk Bagel, Hardena, and Bok Bar awaiting your exploration! This residence offers a comfortable and stylish living space and an opportunity to be part of a thriving and dynamic community in the heart of the Newbold section of Point Breeze.
